HOLDER FOR SEWING IIVIPLEMENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 792,297, dated June 13, 1905.

Application filed November 25, 1904. Serial No. 234,310,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARRIE EFFIE TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Holder for Sewing Implements, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in holders for sewing implements of various kindssuch as thread, spools, scissors, thimbles, needles, pins, and the likein convenient position for use, and has for its object to produce a device of this character simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and effective and convenient in operation.

With these and other objects in view, which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating characters, is illustrated the preferred form of the embodiment of the invention capable of carrying the same into practical op eration, it being understood that the invention is not necessarily limited thereto, as various changes in the shape, proportions, and general assemblage of the parts may be resorted to without departing from the principle of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

In the drawings thus employed, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved device in its more elaborate form. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device in its simpler form. Fig. 3 is a View of one of the supplemental holding members, detached, in the form into which it will be bent before attachment to the central or body member. Fig. 4 is a sectional detail illustrating the manner of attaching the needle and pin cushion.

The improved device comprises a central or body member formed of wire bent together centrally and entwisted at 1O 11 to form contiguous loops 12 13, with the loop 12 bent at an angle to the longitudinal plane of the body member and with the terminals bent laterally, as at 14 15.

The loop 13 provides means for suspending the device from a nail or hook, and the bent loop 12 provides a convenient support for a thimble or like article, while the laterally-bent ends 14 15 afford convenient supports for spools of thread or the like.

A cushion 16 for pins, needles, and the like is attached in any suitable manner to the device, preferably opposite the entwisted portions at 11.

If a greater number of the lateral supports for spools are required, a plurality of wire members 18 will be provided and folded together, as shown in Fig. 3, and passed through the inner loop 13 and entwisted together around the central member, as at 17, and with the terminals bent into lateral spool-supports 19 and the shanks of the members 18 bent suf ficiently to space the spool-holding bends at uniform distances apart, so that the completed device will present a symmetricalfand pleasing appearance.

The cushion member 16 when connected will entirely conceal the entwisted portions 17 The wire employed may be of any desired size and will be plated or otherwise ornamented or protected.

Generally one or more of the laterally-bent terminals will be hook-shaped, as illustrated at 20, to provide a convenient support for a pair of scissors.

It will thus be obvious that a very simplyconstructed, strong, and durable device is produced which may be inexpensively manufactured and will support the various articles required in sewing in convenient position for use and each readily accessible without disturbing any of the other articles.

As many of the members 18 may be employed as required to provide any required number of the spool-holding portions.

The wire employed may be plated or otherwise coated or ornamented, as required, and the device otherwise ornamented to any required extent.

Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed is- 1. A device for holding sewing implements comprising a central member of wire folded centrally and entwisted into contiguous loops, the outer loop bent at an incline to the longitudinal plane of the member and. the terminals of the member bent laterally.

2. A device for holding sewing implements comprising a central member of wire folded centrally and entwisted into contiguous loops,

the outer loop bent at an incline to the longi-.

tudinal plane of the member and the terminals of the member bent laterally in combination with a cushion attached to said member between said loops and lateral bends.

3. A device for holding sewing implements comprising a central member of wire folded centrally and entwisted into contiguous loops, the outer loop bent at an incline to the longitudinal plane of the member and the terminals of the member bent laterally and a plurality of members of wire folded centrally and passed through the inner loop and entwisted about the central member below the same and with the terminals bent laterally.

4. A device for holding sewing implements comprising a central member of wire folded centrally and entwisted into contiguous loops, the outer loop bent at an incline to the longitudinal plane of the member and the terminals of the member bent laterally, a plurality of members of wire folded centrally and passed through the inner loop and entwisted about the central member below the same and with the terminals bent laterally in combination with a cushion connected to said entwisted members.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixcd my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

CARRIE EFFIE TURNER.
